Liverpool breathe a sigh of relief as scan reveals defender isn’t injured after all

We’ve already lost Joe Gomez and Mamadou Sakho to injuries during the pre-season, and when new-boy Joel Matip hobbled off the pitch and was pictured deep in conversation with medical staff after our friendly against Wigan on Sunday, everyone was fearing the worst.

The free transfer from Schalke had a scan today, and thankfully, no serious damage was revealed. The Echo reports that his ankle is just badly bruised.
